Abstract
DR. ARNOLD KLEBS, the eminent Swiss medical historian, died on March 6 at Nyon, on the Lake of Geneva. Born on March 17, 1870, the son of Prof. Edwin Klebs, the famous bacteriologist who was successively professor of pathology at Bern, Würzburg, Prague, Zurich and Chicago, he received his medical training at Bern, Kiel, Würzburg and Berlin, and qualified at Basle in 1894. After post-graduate work in London and Paris, he went to the United States at the age of twenty-six. He gained a reputation by his work on tuberculosis, for which he founded a sanatorium in Alabama and a tuberculosis institute in Chicago. Afterwards he made the acquaintance of the late Sir William Osier, who inspired him with an interest in the history of medicine.
